I have a ATI x2600 video card. Will my computer be able to play games comming out this year as well as Bioshock? I can run Crysis with most of its settings on high.

If you can run Crysis with most settings on high, you can play any game on the market at decent settings.

New cards are coming out in a month or so - I wouldn't set any plans in stone just yet. I would look into your power supply and make sure it's capable of handling a higher-end graphics card however.

Thats not the main thing, the game itsealf stresses hardware more than any other game.

Crysis is for many people like a benchmark. cos even if you have a PC able to bring evry other game to the maximum you arent even close on crysis.

And a plus is that the game has a awsome story and the best graffic yet seen in a game.

if you havn't played it yet - Try it.
